HOW to Make Homo Attractive.

Glorificd by sunshine, with interior ar.
rangements harmonious i'll tone and color,
the humblest cottage may vie with pala-
tial mansion in real attractiveness.
Natures perfection can never be attained,
but she is grand teacher and leads up
higher. Through the long Summer hours
the shadows chase each other softly across
the velvet grasses, waving grain, and vary
ing foliage, whose exquisite greens, russell,
browns, and golden hues blend into beau
tiful harmony against the ender blue of
the far off sky. And the homes nesting
here and there among the hills or out upon
the broad prairies of the northwest. We
have visited in many of them and received
a welcome that cheered us like a cordial.
We have recognized and rejoiced in the
spirit of love that knit together the hearts
of parents and children; but we have also
incurred the general lack of real attrac-
tivenesS which alas too many of our homes
present. Love may beautiiy the homeliest
countenance until, to US, at least,
it is the loveliest face in the world,
but love cannot gid bare walls, nor lend
true grace to ugly papering, nor bring into
peaceful harmony ill-assOrted cOlors of
badly selected carpets and furniture. The
country stores, with comparatively small
stock for selection, may perhaps be held
responsible for much that is amiss, but
what can excuse the city dweller whose
home adOrnments, varied as the glittering
bits of kaleidoscope, arc jumbled together
without rhyme or reason? To furnish even
the humbleSt home requires care and
thought, but ample is the return, for "a
thing of beauty is a joy forever"
To feast the eyes alone, however, doth
not suffice the mortal. We must cat, and
pleasant are the memories of Widespread
board, the happy faces clustering about
with merry talk and laughter, the appetiz-
ing food so good, so palatabIe, eaten with
relish. The dishes, not expensive, but
some quaint, some old fashioned, a few
pieces with history, and each cup and
saucer personal possession. The tiny
cup with its gilt band and usual
membered by rOguish Jack long after he
sips his coffee from mustachc-cup. Life
in its fullest significance is made up of lit
tie things which either comfort or annoy.
To make home really attractive, we must
make 1t perfect garden Of comforts, a
place of delight at whose threshold hus-
band, father and sons may drop their bur
den of care, sure of sOlace and recreation
at their own l1reSide. No time is i'll be-
slowed that is spent in the adornmcnt of
home. Not too much fancy work but just
enough to brighten and relicve-a few
house plants, bird, and some other bright
objects. The windows of the stores that
line the city streets for miles win many
purchase through tasteful arrangement of
their goods and so should our doors, set
Hospitality ajar, reveal cosy home interiors,
whose warmth and harmony brightcns and
makes for friend and kin a little heaven

GROWTH IN CHILDREN.
Progress at Different Ages of the Two
Sexes.

Sexes.
The rate of growth of children varies
according to sex. Thus, at the age of IL
or II years, boys are larger and heavier
than girls; but from that age on the eve
lutte of girls is more rapid, and they
soon overtake the boys and pass them, till
the age of 10 years is reached. when the
boys regr.n their ascendency, while the
girls remain nearly stationary. A curious
relation has been discovered between The
growth of children in stature and in weight.
NJ. Mailing Hansen, Director of the Deaf
and Dumb Institution at Copenhagen, has
for three years weighed and measured his
pupils daily, and he has observed that
their growth does not take place regularly
and progressively, but by stages separated
by intervals of rest. Weight also in
creases by periods after intervals of
equilibrium. While the weight is increas-
ing, the stature remains nearly stationary.
and vice versa. The maximum increase
of stature corresponds with a minimum
period OF augmentation of weight. The
vital forces appear not TO work on botn
sides at once. These variations are sub
jeCt to the influence of The season. Dur-
ing autumn and early winter, according
to III. Mailing Hansen, the child accumu-
lates weight, while his stature increases
slowly; but during spring, stature cccives
q veritable push while weight increases
but little. Some local habits have an in
tiuenCe on the stature. Stendhal remarked
that many Roman girls had dc1ornod YER
tebral columns. or were little hump
backed, and found that it was the result of
popular belief prevailing in Rome that
parents could promote the growth Of
their children by punching them in the
back
